Pink Stars
It has been overcast all day and the garden looks rathe drab, apart from this tub of Nerine bowdenii, whose lovely pink, starry flowers are just beginning to open. Our neighbour grew them first, and after I admired them she put some of the off shoots from her bulbs in a pot, and gave them to me. Over the years they have grown and each year I get more flowers; it's definitely a gift that keeps on giving . Di moved away two years ago but I like to remember her by her nerines.
(They are sometimes called Guernsey lilies but actually are native to South Africa. )
